School systems and other academic institutions conduct emergency response operations differently from corporations or other for‐profit organizations. School‐based factors include the presence of large numbers of children, as well as the educational purpose of the institution. This CD‐ROM is aimed at helping administrators, teachers, and others design emergency management plans using templates for use in a K‐12 school environment. Planning templates help users create plans at the school system level, and include suggestions for developing emergency plans targeted to a wide range of school‐specific situations, including emergency lockdown procedures. Sections include information on how to organize district‐wide emergency management teams, design and activate effective plans, and collect and use information.
